Incorrect Hypothyroid Diagnosis Affects One Third of Patients

If you have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, you may be among the 34% of patients who may be incorrectly diagnosed. Symptoms such as fatigue, constipation, depression and insomnia are often associated with hypothyroidism, but they may actually be related to other causes such as gut issues or female hormone imbalances. In today’s podcast I discuss a new clinical review that investigates outcomes for patients who were prescribed thyroid hormones as a result of a healthcare provider’s misdiagnosis. I also provide recommendations for those who think they may be incorrectly diagnosed, including tips for reading your lab report and how to work with your doctor to discontinue thyroid hormone treatment (if appropriate). https://drruscio.com/incorrect-hypothyroid-diagnosis  My book Healthy Gut, Healthy You is available at https://drruscio.com/getgutbook/  If you're in need of clinical support, please visit https://austinfm.com/  Looking for more?
